Welcome

We want to welcome all of our students and all of you parents to keep in touch with us throughout the year. If we work together, we can make sure that every student has the tools they need to get through the material we are presenting. Regular home study, coupled with focused attention in class is the bedrock of success!

Please visit this website often as I will try to keep you informed of the activities in the class and also advise you of events and other information.

New system for reporting student absences

At
KPR, student safety is our highest priority, and we thank families for adopting
the automated safe arrival system to help ensure students arrive safely at
school each day.

Starting
this September, we will be introducing a new automated Student Absence
Reporting System. Therefore, you will need to create a NEW account to
report your children’s absences online.

You
will receive an email in August with instructions on how to create your new
account and download the mobile app. You also will receive a magnet in
September with the new Student Absence Reporting System details.
Unfortunately, since ownership of the reporting software has changed, we cannot
simply transfer your child’s information to the new system.

Cannabis and schools

Many parents and guardians have been wondering what effect the legalization of marijuana will have on KPR schools. In short, KPR schools will treat cannabis in much the same way they treat alcohol: students of any age will not be allowed to use marijuana at schools, on school buses or field trips.

Once the new federal law comes into effect this October 17:

non-medical marijuana use will be legal only for those age 19 and older

any student, at any age, could be suspended for possessing or being under the influence of cannabis at school

any student who shares marijuana with others younger than 19 could be expelled from school

it will be illegal for adults to use cannabis on, or within 20 metres of, school grounds

it will be illegal to drive under the influence of cannabis, and drivers age 21 or under will not be allowed to have any cannabis in their system.

If you have any questions about cannabis at school, please speak with your principal or vice-principal. Further information on the new law is available at Ontario.ca/cannabis. Information on how to talk to your child about cannabis can be found at Cannabis Information – CAMH.
